Why Sweetheart Why Do I So Love, Then Life So Carves Me Up
Why Sweetheart Why Do I So Love, Then Life So Carves Me Up
As I wrote a surging stab of pain splashed into my brain
Electric agonizing pulses ate ever deeper within
I wanted to touch love but darkest devil bid me abstain
Crying out, "You are mine dog such would be a mad, raging sin
This old aging heart knew but was in no shape to such dispel
My spirit had fallen into jet-black tangle of despair
I knew as it ate into my soul, this is it, unholy hell.
As I wrote quantum surging of pain splashed into my brain
Electric agonizing pulses ate ever deeper within
I wanted to touch love but darkest devil bid me abstain
Crying out, "You are mine dog such would be a mad, raging sin
This old aging heart knew but was in no shape to such dispel
My spirit had fallen into jet-black tangle of despair
I knew as it ate into my soul, this is it, unholy hell.
Why sweetheart why do I so love, then life so carves me up
Darling, can truth gift me much needed stroke of granted light
Wiil you be golden lover and let me then your love sup
Upon the romance and we share each other's all each night
I watch you baby as you comb your hair what a fine sight
And then when you move on over, I watch you get undress
You lean to sweetly kiss me asking if I am alright
I lie and say to you yes, but my heart is in a mess
I've walked these sorrows until my heart so truly deep aches
Why dearest darling did you so love, why this heart so bled
You see me now, soul shattered, heart kicked and it then breaks
Life went from our paradise, to a love that is now dead
Cry I, this greatest of misery finds a way to end
And your beautiful heart sees fit to our love thus renew
Dearest darling please, I do not want to just be good friends
I guess we are sunk, and all our loving plans are now through.
I knew as it ate into my soul, this is it, unholy hell
As I wrote quantum surging of pain splashed into my brain
Electric agonizing pulses ate ever deeper within
I wanted to touch love but darkest devil bid me abstain
Crying out, "You are mine dog such would be a mad, raging sin
This old aging heart knew but was in no shape to such dispel
My spirit had fallen into jet-black tangle of despair
I knew as it ate into my soul, this is it, unholy hell.

Note- An unedited poem, wrote long ago. This was the third step in the process. I always used my standard 4 step process to have a
finished product.
